UNASSIGNED: A longitudinal observational study in patients newly diagnosed with COPD was conducted using claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in South Korea from 2012-2020 after a 2-year washout period. The primary outcome was to estimate the ratio of hazard ratio (RHR) of roflumilast for moderate-to-severe exacerbation in prespecified subgroups. A time-dependent Cox regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) for moderate-to-severe exacerbations.
UNASSIGNED: Among 823,862 patients with COPD, 0.6% used roflumilast. The adjusted HR of roflumilast for moderate-to-severe exacerbations was reduced when treated for ≥3 months (RHR =0.558). Interaction effects of the variables on the HR of roflumilast for moderate-to-severe exacerbation were identified. The adjusted HR of roflumilast for moderate-to-severe exacerbation was significantly reduced in several subgroups: older age (65 years > age ≥50 years, RHR =0.838; age ≥65 years, RHR =0.818), a higher Charlson comorbidity index (1, RHR =0.832; 2, RHR =0.798; ≥3, RHR =0.790), history of exacerbation (RHR =0.886), bronchiectasis (RHR =0.774), chronic bronchitis (RHR =0.793), inhaled therapy [mono-bronchodilator, RHR =0.824; inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), RHR =0.591; LABA/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), RHR =0.822; ICS/LABA/LAMA, RHR =0.570], methylxanthine (RHR =0.853), and statin (RHR =0.888).
UNASSIGNED: The benefit of roflumilast in moderate-to-severe exacerbations was estimated to be greater in specific subgroups of patients with COPD. Personalised approaches to roflumilast based on clinical phenotypes would be effective for COPD.
使用韩国健康保险审查和评估服务机构2012-2020年的索赔数据,对新诊断为COPD的患者进行了一项纵向观察性研究。主要结果是估计预定亚组中重度加重的风险比(RHR)。使用时间依赖性Cox回归模型来估计中度至重度加重的风险比(HR)。
■在823,862例COPD患者中,0.6%使用罗氟司特。当治疗≥3个月时,罗氟司特用于中重度加重的校正HR降低(RHR=0.558)。确定了变量对罗氟司特中度至重度加重的HR的交互作用。在几个亚组中,罗氟司特用于中度至重度加重的校正HR显着降低:年龄较大(65岁>年龄≥50岁,RHR=0.838;年龄≥65岁,RHR=0.818),较高的Charlson合并症指数(1,RHR=0.832;2,RHR=0.798;≥3,RHR=0.790),恶化史(RHR=0.886),支气管扩张(RHR=0.774),慢性支气管炎(RHR=0.793),吸入疗法[单支气管扩张剂,RHR=0.824;吸入皮质类固醇(ICS)/长效β-激动剂(LABA),RHR=0.591;LABA/长效毒蕈碱拮抗剂(LAMA),RHR=0.822;ICS/LABA/LAMA,RHR=0.570],甲基黄嘌呤(RHR=0.853),和他汀类药物(RHR=0.888)。
■在COPD患者的特定亚组中,罗氟司特对中度至重度加重的益处估计更大。基于临床表型的罗氟司特个性化方法对COPD有效。
